I love the way Lorelei changes her voice so well. I believe she is Mercy. Mercy comes alive like she is someone I can get in my car and drive to. (It would be a bit of a drive for me since I’m in Michigan, and I believe she is in California. I don’t remember exactly, I do remember it would be a drive through several states.) Not only does she nail Mercy, in my opinion, but she gets the other characters too.
Outside, the something like 8 inches of snow we received, is still on the ground and we are freezing. Winter has come early this year.
Lirael was honestly quite hard to get through. I started reading the ebook from my library, then later, because it was taking me so long to read and I’d already renewed it twice, I switched over to the audiobook which I got from Scribd. This made it a little easier, as I then listened on my car rides to and from work.
The puppy had some fun dive bombing the piles I made and grabbing some of the leaves. He likes to eat them, not that we actually allow him to eat them. It’s just not always possible to stop him depending on the size of the leaf. It may be gone before we even catch up to him.
This story is one event after another. Not all high stress, but certainly will keep you reading.
The Tome Topple is coming! There are 5 challenges, and I don’t believe I will complete them all; in fact I’m not sure I’ll complete any of them since I’m also focusing on writing 50,000 words this month. When I did my November TBR I left 2 spots for books for this readathon.
Usually the goal of NaNo is to write 50,000 words. This can be daunting, and sometimes can lead to bad word choices in your story as you add extra filler words just to up your word count. I would be one of these people.

Here we are again. I got carried away with the Rhiriya Chronicles and Revelations books. I’ve read 3, leaving only 2 left in the series, even though only one was on my TBR. There are several books I still haven’t picked up, and now we are getting into NaNoWriMo. There is also a TomeTopple readathon this month, so I’m only picking 4 books leaving room for some tomes later.
I wasn’t going to participate this year, then I made some progress with a story idea, and the timing just worked out. So, here we are in preptober, and I decided just a week or so ago to participate in NaNoWriMo.
